Continuing to cement itself as one of the most beloved festival weekends of the summer and a true word of mouth gem, Truck Festival is pointing to yet another landmark year - announcing a string of new names joining an already stacked lineup. Bringing together the best in indie/alternative music as a true who’s who of the scenes lighting up venues and stages across the country and beyond - today’s new names reach across established favourites, thriving newcomers, heavyweight late-night electronic titans, laugh out loud comedy and the off-the-wall fun which makes Truck so unique. An atmosphere like no other, 2026 is nothing short of essential.
Joining headliners The Maccabees, Two Door Cinema Club (celebrating 15 years of debut album ‘Tourist History’), CMAT, The Libertines and The Wombats are a range of beloved and tipped artists carving their own worlds in their respective scenes. Divorce bring their stunning harmonies to Truck this summer, with slices from their debut album ‘Drive To Goldenhammer’ sitting as one of 2025’s best and taking them around the world. The stylish kicks of Picture Parlour head to Truck following the release of their essential debut album ‘The Parlour’ whilst Arkayla take to the stage at Truck with the eyes and attention of new indie fans following their every move as a band ready to break through to the next level. With the likes of GANS, Finn Forster, My First Time, Tom A. Smith, Punchbag, Creeping Jean, Lizzie Esau, The Slates and more also joining the lineup - Truck once again is the epicentre of an entire scene that puts the exciting and must-see front and centre.
The very fibre of Truck can be found in its atmosphere. The ridiculous moments where fun is brought to the fore ensuring a weekend stacked with the must-see acts all with a wink and a smile. An iconic part of Truck history, Barrioke feat Shaun Williamson will return to Truck for a poignant farewell for the last time ever. A festival favourite where 100s of fans have joined Shaun to belt out karaoke classics over the years, he has been an integral part of the Truck story - including the momentous moment where he joined headliner Sam Fender on-stage for a moment that set the internet ablaze. For one final time, Shaun brings Barioke to Hill Farm - get your vocals set and be ready to Ride, Sally, Ride.
With more invitations to throw away any worries and dive into the shining nonsense of The Ogretones, Shaunia Twain, Hip Hop Karaoke, Pun Antics: Hosted by Terry Vegas and the previously announced limbs of The Oxford Symphony Orchestra and Mr Motivator - Truck Festival thrives in the sunshine silliness.
Promising laugh-out-loud memories through the daytime of Truck Festival is the return of its stacked Comedy programme, highlighting the respected TV stalwarts and blazing new names in the UK comedy scene. From Reginald D Hunter, Ivo Graham, Sam Nicoresti, Jack Skipper, Dan Tiernan and Jarred Christmas to Lorna Rose Treen, Kyrah Gray, Andrew White, Louise Young and more - settling in to a summer laugh perfectly compliments a festival experience with different turns found at each point of the day. None moreso than with the famed Late-Night Takeover presented by local club institution Switch, who once again bring a commanding run of selectors to soundtrack the party late into the night. One of the most celebrated newcomers in electronic music Morgan Seatree comes to Hill Farm in July alongside chart-topping duo Sigma whose anthems ‘Nobody To Love’ and ‘Changing’ are bound to go off under the night skies of Truck 2026. With Slipmatt, Ellie Scougall, Jay Soleil, Dylan James, Shem and Miggs b2b Carter also confirmed, Truck Festival is stacked with a festival experience for 2026 that lights up a party all weekend.
Becoming a word-of-mouth favourite and a festival that truly embodies the spirit of what a weekend in the fields should be, Truck Festival sits as an award-winning gem where unstoppable live moments meet unforgettable memories with friends old and new. These string of new programming additions joining a jam-packed bill previously announced - with headliners The Maccabees, Two Door Cinema Club (celebrating 15 years of debut album ‘Tourist History’), CMAT, The Wombats and The Libertines leading a who’s who of indie and modern greats. Whether it’s established indie greats The Vaccines (celebrating 15 years of ‘What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?’), Kaiser Chiefs, Primal Scream, Everything Everything, Circa Waves, Friendly Fires, The Cribs and We Are Scientists or a pinpoint coming-together of this generation’s most exciting bands including English Teacher, The Royston Club, Keo, Florence Road, The K’s, Getdown Services, Westside Cowboy, Lottery Winners, Radio Free Alice, Adult DVD, Madrah Salach, Good Health Good Wealth, Bleech 9:3 and Etta Marcus. With Truck/Festival Favourites such as Rizzle Kicks, Black Honey, Willie J Healey, Deco and the incomparable Vanessa Carlton all confirmed - Truck Festival sits as the most welcoming festival in the UK and one ready to celebrate the summer with.
With today’s names just a snapshot of the wider Truck 2026 picture, it marks a welcome return for one of the most beloved UK festivals around. With a leading reputation as the go-to destination for the best in new alternative music, Truck’s larger than life village vibe rings true.
